HEY! Who says I'm not romantic!

[Callalily]

So in Sunday's paper there's this article about how to send your "sweetie" something personal. You take a wedding band (yup, I've got an old one lying around the house) and place it on a book (preferably one that contains romantic poems, a nice sonnet, or some passage that means something to both of you) and snap a picture. The ring creates a heart shaped shadow on the book.

Well, being the photo experimenter that I am (LOL!), I had to try it and it does truly work.

So . . . if you have a sweetie, or a sweetie to be, I'd recommend doing this very special, creative and personalized creation.

I'm posting a pic of what I created, but I'd like to add some advice. Be very selective about the passage that you place the ring/heart shadow on. Maybe some Shakespeare sonnet or that Margaret Atwood poem "Variations of the Word Sleep." Note: this stanza still makes me swoon - just sayin'.

"would like to be the air
that inhabits you for a moment
only. I would like to be that unnoticed
and that necessary. "

I happened to have used "Omnivore’s Dilemma" and unfortunately text seen in pic show the following references: forty-proof corn, pigaerators, gobbledy-go, fermenting . . . I'm thinking not all that romantic . . . but what do I know!

Enjoy.

p.s. This post created in the spirit of "tongue in cheek." ;-)

1. I _love_ this concept!

And I'm totally okay with phrases like "gobbledy-go." Further, I'd exercise caution with anyone who DIDN'T appreciate such terms. :hug:

2. Thanks Heidi . . . you are a sweetie!

Just curious as to what tome you would use for Call Me Wesley! ;-)

3. My dear Callalily!

I think this is a terrific idea, and I'm going to try it!

I don't think I can get my wedding ring off, but I might...

If I can't use that, I'll use some other ring...

You are to be congratulated on your work!

:hi:

4. Thank you Peggy, and I too think

this is a marvelous idea . . . that is . . . if there is that special person in one's life.

That is why I chose "Omnivore's Dilemma" for the text to be displayed.

I do not have anyone special in my life, and I thought it would be funny.

LOL! Maybe that's why I'm alone! :rofl:

:hug: <<<<< for you and Mr. Peggy!

5. hence why I posted remember Frodo's mistake.

And why my only claim is for beer and travel money. A return to the Shire.

I learned from that story.

6. I like it when they make hearts out of the fruit sauce that surrounds deserts.

We learnt how to make them in cooking school.
